Try running Origin as Administrator.

If that don't helps, go to your ">drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 2\__Installer\directx\redist" folder and delete all the files with a ".cab" file extension

After that run the "DXSETUP.exe" (As Administrator) inside the same folder > restart the Computer > test.

If that also don't helps, download the DirectX end-user runtime from here > install (Run the installer as Administrator) > restart the Computer > test. 

Hey I was trying to do your solution but i have a question

The .cab files are they those files with different months like April, August, December, Februari, June, March, November, October?

Thanks for the solution anyway

    Yes, they are.

    If you go to the "View" tab in the Windows Explorer menu bar and check the "File name extensions" check-box you will see the *.cab extension.
